Tiramisù is one of my favourite desserts ever. I know I still have to share with you my recipe for the classic coffee Tiramisù, but today I decided to post a less classic recipe. This Tiramisù is surely not a classic, but it is still pretty delicious. It is also kids friendly, which is quite…
PINEAPPLE AND PASSION FRUIT JAM
If you follow Manu’s Menu, you already know that my family and I have recently returned from a holiday in French Polynesia (Tahiti). Both in my travel diary and in my review of Hilton Moorea, I have told you about the amazing jam we tasted while we were there. Moorea actually has some of the…
NUTELLA TARTS
I love leftovers. I really do. What I love the most about them is the possibility to create something completely new out of something old. It is a bit like giving a second chance or a new life to something that many consider useless or unworthy. I also like the fact that leftovers can easily…
CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHUNKS MUFFINS
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE WHOLE WHEAT BANANA BREAD
Today’s recipe came about from another one of my attempts to use up leftovers. Though I must admit it was a bit more crumbly than I had expected (especially the next day), it still tasted delicious and I thought it would be a pity not to share it with all of you. Besides, it is…
WHITE CHOCOLATE PASSION FRUIT TRUFFLES
I told you I would not forget about you!! So here I am with a sweet tropical recipe: White Chocolate Passion Fruit Truffles! I love passion fruit and I think it goes very well with chocolate, especially the white kind, as its slightly tart flavour combines perfectly with the sweetness of white chocolate! These truffles…
OMELETTE TAHITIENNE
I am sure you remember that last Christmas my husband got me The Complete Bocuse as a present. It is a huge book full of recipes by Paul Bocuse which I am going to dig into. There are so many dishes I want to try, even more after making his Sole Meunière! It is one…
LEMON CHEESECAKE BARS
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
BUTTERFLY CUPCAKES
My eldest daughter requested some cupcakes for her Tinkerbell birthday party. I love cupcakes, I think they are the cutest little things, but I was making a cake covered with fondant, serving marshmallows, chocolate and lots of other sugary items already. The thought of making frosted cupcakes too, was not really appealing to me. I…
TINKERBELL CAKE
My eldest daughter Victoria loves Tinkerbell… she has all 4 movies and watches them endlessly together with her little sister. They sit together on the couch, under a blanket and watch these movies with great pleasure. When the time to choose her birthday cake came, she requested a “Tinky Cake”. I immediately decided to make…
VICTORIA’S 6TH BIRTHDAY
On the 16th my eldest daughter turned 6!!! I cannot believe how fast time flies. Before I had kids, a year seemed to last forever… now it’s finished before I even get used to saying “Victoria is 5”!!! She is turning into a precious little girl and she can look so “grown up” at times……
SHRIKHAND – श्रीखन्ड
The lovely Cher of The Not So Exciting Adventures of a Dabbler was our July Daring Cooks’ hostess and she asked us to create homemade yogurt in our own kitchens! No incubators needed, no expensive equipment or ingredients, just a few items and we had delicious yogurt for a fraction of the cost and a whole lot…
RICOTTA CROSTATA
After showing you how easy it is to make “ricotta” at home, I thought I would also show you an additional way to cook with it. I love ricotta, both in sweet and savoury dishes. Sicilians are famous for their ricotta desserts and I must admit I love sweet ricotta. It is lighter (also in…
CHERRY CLAFOUTIS
Not too long ago I shared my recipe for Far Breton, a baked custard-like French dessert. I remember saying that it was quite similar to clafoutis, another classic French dessert… so here goes my Cherry Clafoutis recipe, so you can make them both and compare them, if you wish! 🙂 I like them both equally. …
WATERMELON GELATO
Today, for my Regional Italian dish series, I am going to take you all back to Sicily with the perfect summer recipe. I know, I know… it’s winter down here and it’s also been quite cold lately, but my family and friends are enjoying summer in Europe, so I thought of publishing this today. I…
FIAMME DI CIOCCOLATO – CHOCOLATE FLAMES
I am very happy about the recipe I will be sharing with you today. I have many food related memories of my childhood and one of the sweetest memories is of Sunday mornings. My parents and I would often have friends over or go over to some friends’ house for Sunday lunch. My mum would…
CARAMEL ESPRESSO BARS
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
CHERRY JAM
I must admit that I was not very fond of jams while growing up… I would always choose crème patissière or chocolate over jam filled sweets. It was way too sweet for me. That was until I went to Normady with my parents and some friends. We were staying at a farm and the lady…
CHOCOLATE AVOCADO MOUSSE
Chocolate mousse is one of my favourite desserts. I think all the chocoholics out there will agree with me: there is nothing better than digging the spoon into a soft, silky chocolate mousse. Heaven! However, chocolate mousse often involves raw eggs and/or cream, which means it is probably not very child (and hips) friendly. Well,…
MANGO, COCONUT AND JASMINE VERRINES
Sometimes I see the picture of a dish and I just can’t get it off my mind until I make it! Has it ever happened to you? I guess that it the reason why I try and limit my use of Pinterest or I would probably be spending all day long in the kitchen!! Not…
FAR BRETON
Today I want to share with you the recipe of a French dessert: Far Breton. As you can easily guess from the name, it is a traditional cake from Brittany and it is quite similar to a clafoutis as it is an egg-and-milk custard with flour added. It is usually made plain, with raisins or…
CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE MINI CUPCAKES
If you follow this site more or less regularly, you already know that I love small desserts… I love the fact that they are (almost) guilt free and even more I love the fact that you can eat 2 or 3 different desserts for the calories of a single big one. You see, I love…
